if what the republicans are talking about is let's have this debt ceiling skirmish every quarter, every three months, nobody is going to like that, especially the markets, and for very good reason. if what they're say something we're not going to play debt ceiling leverage anymore, which has obviously been the president's position, that's good. my feeling is it's probably the latter. i think there are enough kind of economic grown-ups in the room to really control the folks who have threatened to use that kind of leverage. >> but the senate has not had a budget resolution pass through the senate in, what is it, four years now? >> april, 2009. >> that feels to me pretty shameful frankly. i don't know the politics and i'm not exactly sure why that's the case, but isn't that a critical step in bridging the gap and making progress on these issues where you can not go to these sort of extra legal things like using the debt ceiling as leverage, but you can use the process as it is intended to be used. >> i agree, and it's an interesting quid pro quo for the republicans to agree to the first t

yes, we're going to get an extension as bob reported on the debt ceiling maybe for a couple of months but notice how the republicans have placed a lot of contingencies on. that well unless you pass the budget by april we'll cut everybody's pay so we're going to have a series of cascading fiscal cliff-esque budget deadlines over the next several months and that really is the biggest threat to president obama's agenda. the things he talked about today whether it was on climate change immigration reform, gun safety. it's hard to do those things when you have as john pointed out leftovers from the first term. >> pelley: unity on monday, real politics on tuesday. norah and john, thank you very much. cbs news live coverage of the second inauguration of president obama will continue after these words. sometimes life can be well, a little uncomfortable. but when it's hard or hurts to go to the bathroom, there's dulcolax stool softener. dulcolax stool softener doesn't make you go, it just makes it easier to go. dulcolax stool softener. make yourself comfortable. ♪ i dare you to dare me this

i was kind of pleased to see that the republicans offered a new idea with the debt ceiling a few days ago. that's good. in the last week or so we have seen some changes on the republican side on immigration. a more -- more of an understanding for the need for an immigration policy. the country is becoming more and more diverse and minority. this is good. only in the united states could we handle this kind of diversity and we should be proud of it and we should educate the young people and give those who are not here under legal status an opportunity to gain some kind of legal status. that's what the legal immigration should be all about. and also, climate and gun control and all the other things that are before him. >> how did he get washington off the dime here? what's the first thing? >> one of the things that has gotten so much attention, he doesn't get along with come, doesn't spend enough time with them. i know he's thinking about that. i hope he does reach out more than he has in the first four years and i hope congress is ready to reciprocate. they can't defeat him in the elect
